Photographer's Note

The Haft Sin & Nowruz
The centerpiece of Nowruz observances is the Haft Sin, a tablesetting of seven symbolic foods all starting with the letter “S.” These often include wheat, barley, or lentil sprouts (sabzeh), a wheat pudding (samanu), dried oleaster berries (senjed), garlic (sīr), apples (sīb), sumac berries (somaq), and vinegar (serkeh). The table also includes other items like candles, mirrors, colored eggs, and even goldfish bowls with live fish.
